Community Pool

Where WordPress bloggers support each other with feedback and advice.

Have you just published a new post and are dying for some feedback? Are you redesigning your blog and could use some layout or design advice from your more seasoned peers?

The Community Pool is for peer feedback and advice. Looking for more specific information? Check out some of these resources:

Tap into the wisdom of The Daily Post blogging community and leave your question here in the comments. Others can then click through and offer input either on your site, or in the comments here (feel free to indicate which you’d prefer).

Looking for more information about custom domains, advanced design options, and other enhancements for your blog? Find the WordPress.com plan that’s right for you.

Are you a new blogger looking to share your very first post? We have a special forum for bloggers just like you in our weekly First Friday posts.

To help us make the Community Pool a productive space for discussion, here are some tips and guidelines you might find useful:

  • While you’re not required to, we encourage everyone who requests feedback to also reply to at least one or two other bloggers who need some help. Spread the love!
  • The Community Pool comments section can get quite big — and starting duplicate threads doesn’t help. Thanks for not posting the same question more than once, as well as for not starting numerous threads in a single Pool.
  • If you’re looking for quality feedback, be as specific as you can. Questions about a particular post tend to draw more comments than ones about entire blogs. Questions about specific design elements are more likely to be answered than ones asking for general layout advice.
  • We discourage leaving links without a more substantive message or question. These are often overlooked by other bloggers, and we frequently remove them to make the comment reading experience smoother. Also note that including multiple links in your comment might automatically put it in the moderation queue, which will delay its publication.
  • Please keep all comments civil and constructive. The idea is to have fun — it’s a pool, after all!
  • To keep from losing your place in the comment thread while you visit others’ blogs, right-click on a link to open it in a new tab or window.
  • If you haven’t looked at our Commenting Guidelines in a while, now might be a good time.
  • No running on the deck.

    1. I understood the start, yes past decision do shape who we are today however I do not consider this a bad thing.

      Are you saying the decisions to make abortion legal and give gay people rights were hasty decisions that have destroyed communities rather than steps in the right direction to give equality and freedom of choice to everyone?

    2. I’m going to agree with Nancy on this one. I liked the beginning when you talked about yourself and waxed philosophical. When it got political with abortion and gay rights, I started tuning out. I have no problem with someone having opinions contrary to mine…I actually like reading them…but I think you went off-course and lost the meaning of your original message.

  12. The worse thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies.

    It comes from people that are deeply rooted in your belief system, people that you have exposed your soul to and saw a reflection of yourself in.

    It comes from those that you trust, the ones that you swear would never harm you on purpose or play with your dreams.

    It comes from the people who you never expect it from.

    It comes from those people that you love and who claim to love you back. It doesn’t necessarily have to come from a romantic relationship either. It could be betrayal from a family member or perhaps a close friend.

  18. Hello all 🙂 I just wrote a new post which could maybe help you decide which UK universities to apply to or even to pick your firm and insurance. It could also just be for anyone interested in which universities provide allotments for their students! Hope you enjoy!!!

  27. Hello folks,
    I am looking for feedback in regards to my site (I’m new) so I’m sure there are tons I can improve on. My intention is to have people enjoy my content, subscribe to my site and potentially purchase my product.
